originally thought that he wouldn't have to be a god stick after confessing to Li Er, but he didn't expect to be a big god stick in the end.

Wang Xiang sighed helplessly, he could almost imagine that after this, there would probably be many more immortals in Datang.

I went out of the palace with the mood of gains and losses, and as soon as I returned to the Marquis of Linchuan's mansion, I saw people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the Hou Mansion, and the liveliness did not lose the color of Lao Cheng's mansion at all.

The difference is that Lao Cheng's house is full of brocade clothes, and people who are either rich or noble, while most of the people who enter and leave the Marquis of Linchuan are ordinary people in cloth and linen shirts.

Seeing Wang Xiang coming back, they all saluted and congratulated Wang Xiang.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, many people have come to us to greet the New Year!" Little Lori stood in the courtyard with an excited face, and as soon as Wang Xiang entered the door, he ran over and chattered, and he was not lively.

She likes to be lively the most, originally saw that the house was deserted and a little lost, so she had to play with Wushun and Ju Yiya in the house to fight the landlord, but she didn't expect that Wang Xiang had just left not long before someone came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, and there were more and more people, almost all of them were the people of the village, and some were those students of the Gewu Academy, who came to the Hou Mansion with their parents to pay New Year's greetings, and also carried meat, vegetables, rice and noodles and other things.

Steward Wang and Laifu went home for the New Year, and there were not enough people in the mansion, so Wu Shun had to take Xiao Lori out to deal with it.

The gifts brought by the people are very ordinary, and the auspicious words they say are also the most ordinary, but Wang Xiang is really moved, Lao Cheng and the eldest grandson Wuji are full of high-ranking friends, and the gifts are expensive, but there is such a sincerity and simplicity.

Wang Xiang was in a good mood, and hurriedly said, "Set up a banquet!" Our Hou Mansion is also holding a feast today! ”

He is very arrogant, but the Hou Mansion is not manpowered. In the end, he let Dazhu go to the mansion of Lu Guogong and seconded some maids and servants to Lao Cheng, so that the banquet was put on the table.

After a while, Tie Dan and Aqinu, who returned to the village to accompany Lao Ding for the New Year, also returned. Originally, Wang Xiang asked them to go back for a few more days. Who knew that Lao Ding was afraid that the Hou Mansion would not have enough manpower, so he urged them to come over earlier, saying that Zhuangshang was not far from the Hou Mansion and could go back to see him at any time.

As soon as Tie Dan and Aqi Nu came back, the Hou Mansion became even more lively.

It didn't take long for Kasan to come to the door, and he knew a Wang Xiang in Chang'an Kasang, where could he run if he didn't run here, Wang Xiang naturally entertained him very warmly, Kasan seemed to like the lively atmosphere of Datang very much, and he didn't feel restrained at all. While drinking, he used broken Chinese to talk to the people in the banquet, and he actually talked very happily, his wealth was hundreds of times that of these people, but he did not look down on these people at all, which made Wang Xiang have a deeper impression of him.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Wang Xiang was a little drunk because he was happy, and suddenly saw Chen San leading Chen Daqi towards him, a few months Chen Daqi and the original have undergone earth-shaking changes, I remember that when Chen Daqi first came to the Gewuyuan to report, he was still a little ghost who salivated over a few pieces of dim sum, and now he looks like a scholar. When he arrived in front of Wang Xiang, he respectfully made a disciple salute, and said loudly: "Student Chen Daqi has given the New Year's greetings to the judge of the court." ”

Chen San is obviously much more cramped than Chen Daqi. hurriedly gave Wang Xiang a nondescript salute, and said, "Give the small one ...... New Year's greetings to Lord Hou. ”

Wang Xiang didn't care about Chen San's crampedness, and asked Chen Daqi with a slight smile, "Are you still used to staying in the Gewu Academy?" ”

Chen Daqi raised his head and nodded seriously and said, "The students have learned a lot in the Gewu Academy, and they have also made a lot of friends. ”

"Hehe, that's good."

Chen San also hurriedly said: "Hou Ye is the great benefactor of our Chen family, if it weren't for Hou Ye, we would ...... We ......"

Chen San is usually quite eloquent, but he was stupid in front of Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang knew what he meant, since Chen Daqi entered the Gewu Academy, Chen San himself was also working in the Gewu Academy, and their life at home was better day by day, no, Chen San also wore a new dress made of unknown animal fur, which must be very warm. Chen Daqi was wearing a snow-white woolen sweater, which was his reward for winning the first place in the year-end assessment of the Gewu Academy, and there was also a scholarship of ten yuan.

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "I am very happy that you came to the Hou Mansion today to pay New Year's greetings, eat and drink well, and the days will get better and better." ”

"Yes, yes."

Chen San hurriedly nodded yes, and when he was about to leave, Chen Daqi next to him reminded in a low voice: "Dad, don't you have something to tell the court judge?" ”

Chen Sanyi patted his head: "Yes, I forgot." "I was so nervous that I forgot to come over.

Hearing them say that they had something to tell themselves, Wang Xiang was also curious.

Chen San stretched out his hand and took it out in his arms for a long time, took out a delicate wooden box and carefully handed it to Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang took the wooden box suspiciously, opened it and saw that there were several beads the size of a bull's eye, as well as some gold and silver artifacts, which were extremely valuable at first glance, and with Chen San's ability, he obviously couldn't afford these valuable things.

"What is this?"

Seeing Wang Xiang frowning, Chen San panicked and his legs and stomach became weak, and he wanted to kneel down but was pulled by Wang Xiang.

"What's going on?"

Chen San cried and said with a sad face: "Master Hou is angry, it's because our mother-in-law doesn't know anything and accepts other people's things, but our mother-in-law really doesn't know that this thing can't be accepted, and I don't know who those people are if I want to return it to others, I ...... it."

After chattering for a long time, Wang Xiang only heard that this box of things was given to them by others, and didn't understand anything else, so he shook his head and looked at Chen Daqi.

Chen Daqi saw Wang Xiang looking at him, and said: "A few days ago, a few Fanbang people came to the student's house and gave this box of things, and my father and mother accepted these things without knowing what they meant. ”

Chen San interjected: "I said that I can't accept it, it's your mother who wants to accept it." ”

"Ahem." Wang Xiang coughed lightly, and Chen San hurriedly shut up.

Chen Daqi continued: "Later, after the students went home, they heard from their mother that those Fanbang people wanted to ask me about the affairs of the Gewu Academy, and they knew that this matter was inappropriate. ”

Hearing Chen Daqi say this, Wang Xiang understood what happened, obviously there was an inspiration from the envoy of Fanbang, and he wanted to find another way to find out about the Gewu Academy through the students of the Gewu Academy, and Chen Daqi is a famous high-achieving student of the Gewu Academy, it seems that Tianleizi has a really great influence on them.

Most of the students in Gewu Academy are children of poor people, although the contents of the box are nothing to themselves, but they are definitely an unimaginable amount of money for ordinary people, and the things in it are enough for them to live a rich life, Chen Daqi can be unmoved Wang Xiang is very pleased.

"Why don't you take this thing?"

"The court judge has said that ill-gotten wealth is not advisable." Chen Daqi said with a serious face.

Wang Xiang squinted and smiled, and handed the box in his hand to Chen Daqi.

"It's not ill-gotten gains, if someone gives it to you, you take it......" (To be continued.) )
